Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva PLC ‘Aviva’, has acquired the “SoCo” building at 44-48
rue Saint Lazare in Paris 9ème, from Groupama Immobilier, on behalf of one of its mandates.
SoCo comprises 5,500 sqm of office space over six upper floors. It is
fully let to digital transformation business Fabernovel as its global
head office. The building is located in the Paris Central Business
District, close to the Saint-Lazare public transport
hub, one of the most sought-after office districts in Paris.
The building is showcased by an iconic 1930s façade and was completely
redeveloped in 2017 to fit the most recent tenant’s requirements.
Organised around an inner garden, the interior spaces have been opened
to maximise the contribution of natural light. The
ground floor and garden level have been converted into a flexible
space, with a contemporary café, workshop rooms and coworking areas.
The building restructuring aims to achieve ambitious environmental
certifications: HQE level Excellent, BREEAM level Very Good and the BBC
effinergie label.
